Sheriff’s Department Warns About IRS Phone Scam

0

The Scott County Sheriff’s Department wants to make every citizen within the community aware of the re-occurring phone scam from individuals representing the IRS.

The Scott County Sheriff’s department has received numerous complaints concerning phone calls from individuals representing agents of the IRS.

The complainants have all reported an individual states a warrant will be issued for the complainant’s arrest if they don’t pay an existing amount of back taxes owed by a certain time.

The caller continues to make statements that the local police agencies will be knocking on the doors of the complainant’s residence to take them to jail if the amount is not satisfied. All complainants have reported the same phone number (202) 996-9522 on caller ID.

A call back to that number from our agency states the call is rejected.

Anyone receiving a call of this nature should never give any personal, bank account, or credit card information over the phone.

Any agency of this capacity should have all of your pertinent information and should never have to collect it over the phone.

Anytime an agency such as the IRS is notifying you of an action like this it will be through the mail to either you or your accountant, and should never be by phone.

We would also like to remind you if you have reason to believe any other agency or company is being represented fraudulently please contact our agency or other local law enforcement agencies to inquire as to the legitimacy of the call.

With tax season in full swing the phone, mail, and door to door scams will be on the rise.

0

Washington County Deputy Brad Naugle and Salem City Police Officer Russell Wilcoxson recently responded to a loud noise complaint at 500 Martinsburg Road in Salem.

As officers approached,they could hear loud music while still inside their patrol cars.

Officers knocked on the door and were allowed inside by Joseph Ford. Once inside, officers detected a strong odor of burnt marijuana and observed drugs and drug paraphernalia in plain view. Officers were able to obtain a search warrant and during a search of the residence, officers seized several bags of marijuana, totaling approximately 348 grams in weight.

Other evidence seized included a firearm, cash, different types of prescription pills, drug paraphernalia, a marijuana plant and scales.

Joseph Ford of Salem was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deal, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a legend drug, possession of paraphernalia and maintaining a common nuisance.

Also arrested were Lacey Smith and Joseph Smith, both from Salem and both were charged with visiting a common nuisance.

Deputies Tory Hildreth and Lucas Gray and Salem City Police Officer Chris Cauble assisted with the investigation.

All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law

Donnelly-Supported Legislation to Protect Amateur Athletes from Sexual Abuse Signed Into Law

0

Bipartisan legislation that U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly helped introduce and pass in the Senate last fall to protect amateur athletes from sexual abuse was signed into law today by President Trump. The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act requires amateur athletics governing bodies to report sex-abuse allegations immediately to law enforcement or a child-welfare agency designated by the Justice Department.

Donnelly said, “I’m proud that this bipartisan legislation has been signed into law. I helped introduce this bill that will help prevent sexual abuse of amateur athletes, and requires prompt reporting of abuse to authorities. We have a responsibility to the survivors, to current and future athletes, and to their parents to ensure that these abuses never happen again. This law is a significant step in that direction.”

The bill amends the Ted Stevens Amateur and Olympic Sports Act, which governs amateur athletics governing bodies, to make it safe and easy for victims to report abuse and mandate oversight to ensure strong sexual-abuse prevention policies are implemented.

The bill also reforms the law that allows victims to sue sex-crime perpetrators by extending the statute of limitations because it’s often difficult for children to recognize that they have had crimes committed against them until much later on into adulthood.

The Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act is supported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), National Children’s Alliance, Rights4Girls, University of Utah Law Professor Paul Cassell, Child Sex Crime Victims’ Lawyer James Marsh, Crime Victims Expert Steve Twist, National Crime Victims Center, National Association of VOCA Administrators, Child USA, National Organization for Victim Assistance, ToPrevail, ChampionWomen, National Children Advocacy Center, the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence and Rape Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).

The legislation also had the support of organizations within the Olympic movement, including the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the National Governing Body Council and the United States Center for Safe Sport.
